I miss Pizzarias. So much salt it could send you into a coma but DAMN were

There's been a bit of an Internet trade in Boo-Berry cereal. It's not

No. You had to appreciate the lighting conditions that made it special.

Fujichromes improved dramatically over the years, true, but did not
surpass Kodachrome. Stability is a really big deal.

I like to use film too when convenient. I still want to give my
Krasnogorsk K-3 a workout if I can find a decent place I can buy film
from (could always try to see if I can from my former university's
student union store, but they probably wouldn't let me anyway). Sucks
getting things through mail order/online.
I guess my reasoning over digital is the impermanence of the medium.
With film, you have something that can stay where it is and not be
gone unless destroyed or uncared for. With digital photography, you
have something that is a file in the camera's memory, on a card or
disc. You can print out a pic of it or have it incorporated into
other things, but you can also delete it easily by mistake or the disc
itself wears out and it's hard to retrieve those images again. I only
think of digital photography for things i have no real use for on an
artistic level, like posting photos on webpages.

Oh yes, the period when you'd routinely see articles in the magazines
about how to take photos of the screen of your tv set. I seem to recall
a spike right before the moon landing in 1969.
Kids today can't grasp what it was like before there were VCRs. You
couldn't expect to see any given show or movie on tv a second time, you
had to accept it like it was the only time you'd see it (which maybe
made tv watching a more active event).
If you wanted a record, you'd take a photo of it, I think primarily that
happened for historical events like the moon landing. I never heard of
people routinely photographing what was on their screen, to help them
remember.
Then if you wanted a recording, you'd tape the audio with an audio
tape recorder, reel to reel to begin with (including those cheap
portable ones without a capstan so they didn't keep constant speed)
and later cassette recorders. I've mentioned before a friend who
did this (and he was the first one I knew to get a VCR, November 19
1980), and one time when The Prisoner was being rerun here he decided
to record an episode. Turned out to be the one where the Prisoner
gets away by boat, so there was pretty much no dialogue through
the episode, just the sound of lapping water.

And those audio recordings can be very valuable. The recent Astro Boy DVDs
(1960s version) relied on some of those because there were no other available
English soundtracks.
And I was lucky enough to receive one that preserved an _alternate_ English
dub of the first Kimba the White Lion episode, still by Billie Lou Watt & Co
but with surprising variations in dialog, especially in the iconic scene near
the end. (The second, common dub of this episode was completed a year later.)
I wonder how many Amazing Three audio recordings may be languishing out
there...

I know it isn't available year 'round here, because a friend of mine and
his son stock up every halloween. I think you can get Boo Berry all the
time though . . .
And of course you can get Quisp but not Quake. :\

Both Fuji and Kodak have produced E-6 emulsions that are far better in color
fidelity, saturation, and finer grain than Kodachrome is capable of. As
long-time Kodachrome fan, it was difficult for me to accept this truth until
I saw it for myself under a loupe and using various test charts. Many
professionals came to this conclusion before I did. Kodachrome is slightly
sharper due to the thinness of the emulsion. I still have a couple of rolls
of Kodachrome in the fridge that I'd better use up before Dwayne's stops
processing it.
Regarding stability, I'm sure you are aware that Kodachrome is not stable at
all if you project it much. The E-6 emulsions are more fade-resistant when
projected. Most people would rather have the dark storage stability though.

Remember hearing somewhere Nintendo when they had their Nintendo Power
magazine ask for those to submit their high scores to be published,
the kids had to take pictures of their TV screens in order to show the
high score on the game itself.

I remember doing that even when we had a VCR!
Assuming someone always tries harder, there's always pointing the
super 8mm camera at the set and getting only 2 1/2 minutes worth of
footage. I think if I had to grow up at that point in time, I'd try
to invest in something like this...

Someone once sent me an ad showing up a similar device was made to
film the TV set on super 8mm, that probably would've been my makeshift
deal for the time being. I always envy those though that got into
home video in the 70's I see on YouTube.

Funny how that worked out in the end, we have all 105 episodes of the

There's a lot of material run even around the 80s and 90s that can be hard
to find, mostly specials and one-shot airings. I think I'm one of the few
who even bothered to tape any of the fall preview specials (although I only
go back to about '92) which may be aired only a couple times and then never
aired again.

I use to tape TV audio with a tape recorder plugged into the headphone
socket of a TV, mostly for recording TV themes. That was back when nobody
cared about people recording TV themes since the writers of the music had
already been paid and the show's producers were more interested in selling
the show than the theme song. The TVT Records creators often had stuff just
given to them for their Television's Greatest Hits records. (Those records
led to the creation of the label.)
Now I'm using my computer as my TV so it's very easy to record straight onto
the computer, but between the repacking of professional songs and the
absence of any real TV theme, there hasn't been much in the way of TV themes
in the past decade worth recording. Now TV themes are more often rented or
just cut down to a few notes, if that. And for the few that occasionally do
appear, it's easier to find it on the Internet. But I find no interest in
bothering to record them since I know there's little chance of them not
being available later.

I remember the Akai home video recorder in the Lafayette Radio catalog. But
$1000 in 1960s dollars was as good as not available at all.
I don't know that anyone who did invest in one of those early home video
recorders could find a way to play those tapes anymore.

I did point out that auction to the head of a certain anime on DVD company,
and he said there was no way they could make back the money he was charging,
mostly because it was only 12 episodes, not the whole series.
On a Tezuka forum, though, the guy says there was someone interested in the
films and we should look for a DVD release sometime in the near future.

Sad. It was still better than nothing. A guy like the one who does
the 8man.com webpage would probably love getting his hands on these if
only as a means to say he's got the best copies out there (there are
times when I'm either impressed or disgusted at what he has).

Who knows. I sometimes find it weird seeing guys showing off their

I feel glad for a few things my mom recording back then like the "It's
your 20th TV Anniversary, Charlie Brown" from CBS with the commercials
intact (noticed a few clips of this showed up on YouTube recently).
Apparently there has been those like me out there that have kept such
recordings and often traded them in others or have placed them online
such as on YouTube.

At least an interest was in place for that (if only we were like
Europe or Japan when it came to TV themes getting decent 45/LP
releases).

Sad really. This is why I stopped watching TV regularly for a
decade! I can't get in the spirit anymore if they keep up this s__t!

. . . if they can grasp that there were analog recording technologies.
Show a kid 3/4 inch video tape reels and it would blow his mind.

Showing a U-Matic deck to somebody is my specialty (being reminded of
that format again). ^_^

Mine is pretty much dead, and I have a ton of 3/4" tapes. :(

Do you own one that works?
Chris Sobieniak
Not yet, but I have some tapes in my collection and will probably buy
one soon.

If it's been around long enough, you might try your local library to see if
they have any old machines to rent for transfers. They often have stuff
archived on old technology and keep the machines to access it. Of course
you'll probably only want to transfer stuff that you can't get copies of
other ways.
You could also try scouting around junk dealers, although there's no
guarantee if they had such a machine it would work.

Chad "genital herpes" Bryant is supposed to be a "professional wrestler" for
his local "federation," yet all he does is put on a mask and scream at
people without using the Internet. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Hey fat ass -- just because I'm a photographer doesn't mean I know every
goddamn thing that's ever developed (pun intended) since people started
taking pictures. Besides, I've won two, count 'em TWO awards so far for my
work, and am on the verge of winning a third and possibly a fourth in 2009.
What sort of loser shit have YOU done lately, besides troll Usenet with
pathetic crap like this?

I've had more than 1,000 photogaphs published in the past three years,
asshole, and won two awards for my efforts.

I don't know what the hell you're trying to imply here, but I was never
banned or told to keep away from any music. My parents -- and unlike you, I
had loving parents to raise me -- never did anything like that, you fat
genital herpes-spreading fuck.
